Far On Droid supports a few archive formats: <strong>ar</strong> (The traditional archive format on Unix-like systems),
<strong>cpio</strong> (archive file consist of metadata concatenated with (usually) a cpio archive),
<strong>tar</strong> (common archive format used on Unix-like systems, generally used in conjunction with compressors such as gzip or bzip),
<strong>jar</strong> (java archive) and <strong>zip</strong>.

<br><br>

Also Far On Droid supports a few compressions: <strong>gzip</strong> and <strong>bzip2</strong> which may be applied for packaging archive types such as <strong>tar</strong>.

<br><br>

You can create archive files using <strong>Create Archive</strong> option from content popup menu.
<br><br>
When creating archive you must select archive type and enable or disable compression for archive. For archive types w.o. compression (like <strong>tar</strong>)
you will be able to select one of available compression types.
<br><br>
Please note, that you shouldn't specify file extension in <strong>Archive name</strong> - it will be added automatically.

Archive files have magenta color.
